Roses Are Red, Errors Are Blue

Content You: - fairly average software dev - claims not to be competitive, but secretly dreams of landing on the leaderboard at least once - uses a full IDE; wastes a minute right out the gate waiting for it to start - still parsing the problem statement while others are already submitting answers actually uses a debugger when things aren't working Your competition: "Hackerman" - IntoSec maior - sits at his PC on a near-lethal dose of Adderall waiting for the timer to hit 00:00 - has automated scripts for pulling the input and submitting solutions, and his own library of helper functions for every imaginable problem class - knows vour IP at all times "-mhtwalters" - research scientist at Intel - does puzzles for fun that are harder than any job you will ever have - so utterly bored with the problems that he creates increasingly ridiculous self-imposed restrictions to keep things interesting - solved last year exclusively in APL on a System360 emulator, and still finished 9th on the global leaderboard - personal homepage is HTML 2.0 compliant "wihbr" - software dev from undisclosed Eastern- European country, making 200kyr for a company you've never heard of - is in literally every coding competition -Twitch stream is just a Vim terminal and the sounds of a mechanical keyboard - types faster than you can read or think "Tharg" - Linux kernel hacker - specialization in compiler design - is golfing in some esoteric language nobody has ever heard of - can mentally transpile any code he sees to assembly - measures his solutions performance in actual clock cycles - overworked Chinese university student, double majoring in theoretical physics and chemical engineering - has been locked into various educational institutions since he was 3 years old - only time outside of school is for piano lessons - can literally only see the relevant parts of the problem statement - you will not understand his solutions without a PhD in discrete mathematics "Samir Nagheenanajar" - outsourced IT support technician - does puzzles because he has nothing better to do during - forced to solve in Excel because he isn't allowed to install other software - can reveal the face of God using only BA - rumored to possess the combined knowledge and power of all Indian educational YouTubers

The four stages of developer grief: euphoria when your code finally works, the misguided confidence to "improve" it, the soul-crushing realization that you've unleashed 258 bugs, and finally the existential void where your will to code once lived. That moment between "it works!" and "let me refactor it" is the shortest-lived happiness in programming. It's like finding a $100 bill and immediately using it to buy lottery tickets. Pure self-sabotage, but we never learn.

OH. MY. GOD. That vintage car with CHANDELIERS for headlights is the MOST DRAMATIC representation of our coding lives! 💅 You spend 6 hours writing a gorgeous algorithm only for it to crash spectacularly, so what do you do? Slap some random Stack Overflow solution on it that has NO BUSINESS working but somehow DOES?! The coding equivalent of attaching fancy chandeliers to a Cadillac and driving away like it's TOTALLY NORMAL. Your code might look ridiculous, but honey, if it passes QA, it SHIPS! Just don't look at the commit history... that's where the REAL horror show lives.

Content Ok let's try running this code console. log("Hello World"); Output: ERROR Alright maybe then this will work let str "Hello World"; console.log (str); Output: ERROR 4 HOURS LATER This is getting ridiculous, I'll just restart at step 1 function generateString(s) variable a Output: ERROR console.log ("Hello World"); Output: Hello World! THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I TRIED!!!!

Content Safari tries to fill username 25 Open ) quarterdeck opened this issue yesterday 8 comments quarterdeck commented yesterday What do you want to do? krisquarterdeck.co.uk From this website Other Usernames... 1 Course in Up Next quarterdeck commented 6 hours ago edited Author Upon further investigation this seems like an absolutely crazy Safari bug and I'm not sure if it can be worked around or not. I noticed that this was only happening on one page of our app. So I systematically commented out each section of HTML to see if any block was affecting it and I found one! 1 narrowed it down to a single p tag which contained the text "Welcome back,". I thought the comma might be causing an issue (no idea why) so I removed it. No change. I thought the word "back" might be making Safari think this was a login page for some reason? So I removed it and it fixed the issue! Crazy. Out of curiosity I tried removing "Welcome" and adding "back" back in. Still didn't re-occur. ?! So it seems only the combination of words "welcome back" causes this to happen. Absolutely no idea why. To confirm I chose another page randomly and put the phrase "welcome back" in a random position on the page and low and behold it caused this to happen again. For some reason the presence of these words on the page is adding the following to the Shadow DOM of the input field: div pseudo"-webkit-credentials-auto-fill-button" role "button" aria-label"password AutoFill" style-"display: Easily the most bizarre bug I've ever come across. 34 106 39 177
